sorry but from what ive seen gunn is championship level at best and not a patch on willy. awkward as fuck and his kicking makes joe look good by comparison. tbf he did well in the shootout. overall? no.

His kicking was better than Willy's today.

willy had a shocker i agree, but he's normally ok with the ball (and far better than joe or gunn).

[Piccsnumberoneblue]

Fernando still looks like a handicap

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Have you seen Gunn play through 18's and EDS or for England under 21's? He is miles better than either Willy or Joe with the ball at his feet, probably because he started his football career out of goal.

Personally I would be happy if Gunn was our number 2 behind Joe as I think he is quality and going to the top.

I was disappointed not to see Cameron Humphreys get some game time (was he on the tour?) after I thought he did well last summer. Also Horsefield and Manu Garcia but I suppose United ducking out of the game in Beijing did for their chances in the few pre-season games available. Maybe they'll get some time in the game against St Johnstone.

I've seen Adarabioyo make a bad pass or two in EDS games. Have those who have watched him more than I have noticed this as a feature of his game? Other than that I thought he coped very well with the Dortmund attack and, for the most part, passed the ball out well. That's two full games he's had now so Pep has had a good look at him and must surely like what he sees.

I think Pep has already decided about the two Spanish full/wing-backs.

Tosin does make the odd mistake with his distribution but he is a ball playing center half which Pep will have noticed for certain. Is he ready now for the first team , probably not yet but the talent is there for sure.

terrible match. terrible pitch. terrible ref. but that should be expected when going to China.

thought Willy had a poor half and Tosin looked very shaky in the first half but settled nicely in the second.

Sergio looks like he got loads of sun and plenty of donuts on his holiday.
Interesting to see Fern1 sit very deep and play basically in center of defense in the 2nd half. Pep putting him in the Xabi Alonso role?

City won Dortmund lost, we're getting better each match, and the youngsters had a great showing.

Fuck off and stick to the Dortmund forum already

Thats not particularly a great physique for a professional footballer who aspires to be the best in the world.

Nasri must be a proper fat cunt to be fair .

Totally agree with this. Sideshow must not have seen anything of Gunns games in the EDS he is Far superior to Joe or Willy with the ball at his feet.

You're being sarcastic, right?

[dazby]

He seems happy to be there too.

[john@staustell]

Just watching this now.

Bony should be off to Barnsley. And I just can't see Denayer as a top four player, sorry.

Why, what did Denayer do wrong yesterday?

My thoughts exactly. I thought Denayer did pretty well everything right when he came on

[Mase]

Our 1-1 result means that Pep 'still has work to do' according to some of the press.

Rags lose 4-1 and nothing is said....

Honestly no! Im talking about the chest and stomach, should be ripped to fuck if you ask me! Look at the physique of tranny or Balo for example, I seen the irish team with there tops off at the end of a game and they were all in tip top ripped shape, i would of expected aguero the same, could just be that picture tho.

Dont go comparing him to your average joe on the street where he clearly is in good shape!
